[Buddha-l] Brahma & Abraham

[JKirkpatrick]

Please note that 108 was a charismatic number for Indians of all
religious stripes, then as now. Like other such number usages,
it's also good for suggesting great size.

Hi,
 
I remember reading that even during Vedic times, they have
estimated the size of Sun to be about 108 times the size of
earth.  If both claims are true, then probably the size of moon
or sun would be shrunken before, "they should come to the palms
of his hands."
 
Well, at least, I don't remember reading the Buddha ever did
this. Or did he? Or any of his disciples?
 
Best wishes,
Rahula
